Nikola's course was exceptionally well prepared and organised
- having thought of all things in advance the course was well presented
and differentiated to each individual's needs encouraging both risk
taking and creativity.

- Carol Ann Eades

Nikola is an excellent teacher and textile artist. I had the pleasure
of attending a tailor-made 3 day textile workshop in the summer, in
her sunny, open-concept workshop. She was able to put together a
program specific to my needs and time constraints. In 3 days
we were able to cover batik, block printing, and shibori using indigo
dyes. Nikki is someone who is very personable, passionate and talented.
I learned a lot, was well taken care of, and we had tonnes of fun
together. She is fantastic! For anyone who is into textiles, go take
a vacation in Aquitaine and get your creativity flowing!
